My podcast partner, Clayton Sinclair III, died about 30 days ago. I'm still processing this loss, as many are. Since this is happening within Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode is about losing someone close and the mental illness that can arise. I'm sharing in hopes that others who struggle with grief and perhaps depreciation might benefit from hearing my story. This is incredibly personal for me as a white man since the rate of suicide is highest in middle-aged white men. In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women.
